Building locally, I found that SWIG fails to build with this new Perl release due to the removal of the current directory from @INC. This change is mentioned in the Perl release notes: "We removed the current directory from @INC We consider this a security change, and although it might cause discomfort to some users, we had to do it. Both Perl 5 Porters and the Toolchain Gang put effort into easing the transition to a dot-less @INC. If you want to load a module from the current directory, you can still do this in one the following ways: [...] # Use the environment variable PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1" http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/2017/05/perl-5260-is-now-available.html It doesn't look like this has been addressed by the SWIG maintainers yet. We should set this PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC variable in the SWIG package definition, right? Probably we will need to set it in several other packages as well.

I hoped so, but I couldn't find any discussion on the SWIG bug tracker or mailing list, nor a commit in their source repo.

Building core-updates locally, I found several other Perl modules that have the same issue.

The upstream fix has basically the same effect: https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/8855ef2b482c09da9255079b0fac92d08c8308fb To avoid adding another patch, I'll push the change to set PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC to core-updates soon unless there is an objection.
